I think the solution to this bug is
systemctl enable bluetooth
You have to enter your password 4-5 times and then reboot. It worked for
me. can someone else try it to confirm on Asus laptops with this bug?

Title:
can't start bluetooth
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Bluetooth works (Asus Zenbook UX301LA) neither on Ubuntu 16.04 nor Linux Mint
17.3 (both systems updated).
Bluetooth used to work on previous versions of Ubuntu and Mint. The Asus is
two year-old and a quick look inside the pc shows no sign of dirt. It doesn't
seem possible to remove the wireless card without resorting to wire-cutting +
soldering.
the following occurs:
1) with wifi enabled (wifi works perfectly):
a) icon in taskbar is grayed out;
b) click on icon>can turn on bluetooth + can't turn on visibility>bluetooth
settings>both bluetooth and bluetooth visibility appear as "off" + the message
"bluetooth is disabled" appears.
2) with wifi disabled and after re-booting Asus:
a) icon in taskbar lits up;
b) click on icon>can turn on bluetooth + can't turn on visibility>bluetooth
settings>bluetooth appears as "on" and bluetooth visibility appear as "off" +
the message "bluetooth is disabled" appears.
here are a couple of terminal outputs (if relevant, forgive my total
ignorance on the subject):

card but Bios>Advanced>Start EasyFlash can't detect any file on my
(FAT32-formatted) flash card.
any idea?
